Is the tidal theory similar to nebular theory?
The Tidal Theory suggests that the Earth came from materials pulled out of the Sun. At first, the Sun existed by itself until another star passed quite close to it and caused great tides. Some of the gas in the Sun’s outer layer were torn away and in time massed together into the bodies called planets, including the Earth. Sir James Jeans was the English mathematician and physicist who advanced this theory which was widely accepted at one time.
